Chapter 19: The Hunt

After receiving a positive reply from the capital, Feng Wuxian finally settled down. As long as his father has no intention of removing these officials in Fujian, then he can first pull out the thorn in the side of the Luo family, lest they always make a stumbling block for themselves behind their backs. In fact, if it comes to his heart, he doesn't plan to do this, but Luo Yunqian's sudden serious illness disrupted all his plans, and the ambitious Luo Yunwen was too arrogant, coupled with the things promised by the Yue family, he finally started a real killing machine.

"Han Qing, are you ready to do everything?" For the upcoming turmoil, Feng Wuxian is still a little nervous, although he has calculated many times, but in case of failure, not only will he be too implicated, but he will also be deeply involved and unable to extricate himself.

"Your Highness, rest assured, these days, the lower officials have sent people to block all the main roads in the name of suppressing the Japanese, presumably the news from Beijing has not come back so quickly." Guo Hanjin looks confident, the Luo family almost ruined his future, here and now, what else does he have to hesitate about.

"Very good, then immediately send troops to surround the Luo family, and don't let one go. Remember, send someone to watch all the Luo family's shops, but don't touch any of them! Feng Wuxian glanced at Song Junxian and ordered in a deep voice.

"Obey Your Highness's orders!" Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang glanced at each other and tacitly showed a smile.

Luo Yunwen, who was anxiously waiting for a letter from Jingzhong, suddenly heard a commotion from the outside world and immediately stood up. Unexpectedly, in just a moment, a few panicked little guys rushed into the main house of the head of the family, which had always been only accessible to deacons, like headless flies, making Luo Yunwen, who adhered to the distinction between upper and lower, angry. slapped the leader in the face, and Luo Yunwen scolded angrily: "Do you still have rules? Have you forgotten who let you in, well, those who trespassed into the main house of the head of the house, and expelled them from the house after thirty years? ”

The little guy knelt down aggrievedly, and said with a crying voice: "Qiyu family master, it's not good, a large number of officers and soldiers have come outside, surrounding this place, and the old men in each room are frightened. ”

"What!" Luo Yunwen only felt a spasm in his chest, his face turned pale, and he fell onto the chair involuntarily. It came too quickly, he clutched his chest desperately, and thought unwillingly, to cheer up, to cheer up, he kept admonishing himself, and with his other hand trembling, he took a small vial from his bosom, and fell down with his head up. This medicine worth 100 gold really worked, and in the blink of an eye, he felt that he had regained his strength.

"Call, gather everyone outside the house!" Luo Yunwen shouted in a hoarse voice, "I want to see what kind of crime those people want to accuse my Luo family of!" ”

In charge of the roundup was Guo Hanjin's henchman, guerrilla Ji Chang, and under his command, hundreds of soldiers surrounded the Luo family, for fear that someone would escape. The Yamen had already received the news in advance, and all the backbones of the Luo family were concentrated in the mansion today, so they didn't worry about any important people slipping through the net. At this time, it was night, and from a distance, the continuous torches were spectacular, and those soldiers who did not usually dispatch much also clenched the weapons in their hands one by one, lest they disagree with their superiors. For this operation, each of them received a salary of five taels, and for this reason, they had to be very energetic tonight.

When Ji Chang was thinking about whether to break in or shout, the door of the Luo family creaked open, and it was Luo Shijie, the highest ranking in the Luo family, who came out. Having stepped down from his position as a deacon, he had to come out first to face these officers and soldiers at a time when his family was facing a life-and-death situation, even though he knew that there was little hope of getting through this hurdle safely.

"Lord Ji led troops to surround my Luo family late at night, I don't know what happened?" Despite his age, Luo Shijie's voice was still clear in the dark night.

Ji Chang twisted his neck unnaturally, "The Luo family colluded with the Japanese and collected the stolen goods privately, and this official was ordered by Lord Qincha to arrest all the people in charge of the Luo family." As soon as his voice came out, there was an exclamation among the soldiers, but then it was suppressed by some officers.

"Is Lord Ji mistaken, it is true that the Luo family has business dealings with the Japanese state, but the collusion with the Japanese is purely false, if you want to put my Luo family in prison on such a charge, then Lord Qincha is too reckless!" Luo Shijie's words are hard-hitting, and he has obviously put life and death out of the way.

"Bold!" Ji Chang was furious, and his voice couldn't help but rise, "If there is no definite human and physical evidence, how can this official lead troops to round up late at night." If you know each other and ask for guilt, maybe Your Highness can still leave you a way out, if you dare to resist, then don't blame the official for being polite! He snorted softly, and the soldiers behind him immediately unsheathed their weapons, looking tense.

Luo Shijie closed his eyes helplessly, human and physical evidence is simply a joke, is there less evidence of corruption and perversion of the law by Fujian officials in their hands alone? However, when people made it clear that they were going to attack him, he didn't even have a way to do it.

"Since Lord Qincha said that our Luo family colluded with the Japanese Kou, then we will be arrested!" A tired voice came from behind Luo Shijie, led by Luo Yunwen, the acting head of the family, and a group of high-ranking and powerful Luo family deacons walked out one by one, and many people's faces were still frightened.

"Mr. Luo, the lower official just acted on orders and offended." Seeing that the Luo family had no intention of resisting, Ji Chang was really relieved, and his face softened a lot, "Come on, take them down!" He commanded left and right.

"Wait!" Luo Yunwen suddenly shouted, "According to the criminal law, it is not a major crime of rebellion, and the children in the family must not be implicated before the crime. ”

Ji Chang couldn't help frowning, Feng Wuji's order was quite clear, after taking away a few people from the Luo family, he put all the others under house arrest first, and then took them away in batches, but how could Luo Yunwen know about this? "Mr. Luo, this official was only ordered to arrest a few people, and I don't know anything about the rest, so you better ask His Highness in person." He winked at the left and right again.

Luo Yunwen let a few soldiers tie him up solidly, he knew in his heart that resisting at this time was undoubtedly adding another crime to the Luo family, fortunately, he still left a step back, those letters with Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang in the past have already been taken away, if they can't get out this time, the two dog officials will never end well.

The successful imprisonment of the Luo family and other bigwigs was only the beginning of things, followed by a dazzling purge. A crime of colluding with the Japanese is neither the lightest nor the heaviest, however, this evidence is in the hands of those officials, and it can naturally change in every way, whether it is light or heavy, as long as they are willing, even if the Luo family is convicted of rebellion, it is simple. As for the people, they even heard that a captured Japanese coward could testify that the Luo family had financial dealings with many Japanese coquents, and such a wealthy family in Fujian secretly accepted those stolen goods, and this realization made the honest people all angry.

Although they were in prison, the Luo clan was not mistreated, not only were they kept together alone, but they were not compared to ordinary prisoners in terms of food and anything, however, the fate of the family still worried them. From the mouths of those jailers, Luo Yunwen has learned about the rumors from the outside world and the anger of the people, hum, if you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, when the Luo family is still powerful, do those people dare to say that? He is still too slow to start, which is his biggest regret so far.

Clang, the cell door suddenly opened, and a figure quietly appeared in front of everyone, it was Xu Chunshu, the guard without a trace, at this time, what is he doing here, even if it is arraignment, it does not meet the regulations! Xu Chunshu didn't seem to see the doubts of others, but just said coldly: "By the order of His Royal Highness, I will send Luo Shijie to meet him." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, even Luo Yunwen looked at this uncle with some unease, although he firmly believed in his loyalty to the family, but at such a critical moment, no one was sure whether he would say something. "Your Highness has please, and the sinners should obey their orders." Luo Shijie replied without humility or arrogance, and stood up with some difficulty.

Walking through the somewhat gloomy corridor, Luo Shijie followed behind Xu Chunshu, and his mood was far less calm than he imagined. He was originally a side child of the Luo family, although he had an advantage in seniority, he had always held little power, and it was not until Luo Yunqian took power that many things were handed over to him to take charge of, so his loyalty to this nephew has never changed. However, the events not long ago made the Luo family lose an excellent principal, and he could only retire gloomily, seeing Luo Yunqian's eagerness for quick success and quick profit brought the Luo family to the point where it is now, it is impossible to say that there is no grudge.

"Your Highness, Luo Shijie will bring it." Xu Chunshu bowed down to report.

"The sinner Luo Shijie knocks on His Highness." Luo Shijie calmly knelt down and saluted, he just glanced at it, and found that the people standing on the left and right of Feng Wuxian were the few people who had been brought into the main hall when he went to Luo's house last time.

Xu Chunshu carefully closed the door and guarded it outside. This time, the master hadn't even discussed it with Song, Guo and Lu, so it was obvious that there was something else to hide, so he had to be careful. Fortunately, the guards here had appointed a hundred guards by Wind Traceless, otherwise it would not be easy to arrange such a meeting.

Feng Wuxian saw the elderly Luo Shijie kneeling alone, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, but the stakes were so high that he had to accept those compassions. "Luo Shijie, this king saw you alone this time, do you know why?"

"Forgive the sinners for not knowing, the sinners only know that the Luo family's collusion with the Japanese is purely false......"

Before Luo Shijie could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Feng Wuxi. "This time, this king will not tell you about the Japanese invaders, this king just wants to ask you, how did Luo Yunqian get sick?"

Luo Shijie's face changed greatly, Feng Wuxian asked such a question that greatly surprised him, could it be that there was really something strange about the family master's illness? "Back to Your Highness, the head of the family only fell ill after learning that the goods transported to Luofu by the branches from various places had been robbed, and the guys were seriously killed and injured.

"Then do you know that your head of the family was plotted by someone, and then he became a waster?" Feng Wuxian almost gritted his teeth and asked, "Luo Yunqian is seriously ill, and then your Luo family is about to stir up trouble in Fujian, what is there in it?" Luo Shijie, as an elder in the Luo family, you won't shirk you, don't you know? ”

Luo Shijie's eyes widened in horror, impossible, absolutely impossible, he repeatedly admonished himself to calm down, however, his body still involuntarily lost control, and the whole person collapsed to the ground. Oh my God, is it all someone else's conspiracy?
